ON THE ALERT.
The Dominion Government is Ev-
identity Determined
To Make the summer Very Warm One
for Yankee Fishermen.

ST. JOINS, N. b., April S.-The action Of
the Dominion cruiser Viglant in giving
chase of Beaver Harbor Wednesday to an
American fisherman in search Of bait Is
considered here to be convincing proof
that the Canadian Government does not
intend to relax any of the provisions Of
the treaty of 1918, but it will enforce all
its sections with as great stringency as
last season. It was generally believed
among Canadian fishermen that this sec
tion Of the treaty relating to the sale Of
bait would not be enforced this year, but
since Friday last their minds have been
disabused Of this idea. A Canadian fish
erman says that there has been q good deal
of bait purchased from the Bay Of Fundy
fleet during the winter. The bank fisher
men go to Eastport and remain there,
while the quoddy-boats, with licenses to
touch and trade, proceed to the Canadian
fleet and prepare the bait. The fishermen
who sell the bait know for what
purpose It is to be used, but
"a they are to sell they ask no
questions. The fishing schooner which
the Vigilant chased, was vessel Of about
ninety tons and hailed from Eastport. Her
name Is not yet known. She had come
out Of Black Harbor about the same time
that the cutter emerged from Beaver Har-
Dor. She was heading toward the fleet
and was lowering her sails when the cap
tain Of the fisherman observed the cruiser
bearing down upon him. The Vigilant
was then about six miles distant, but as
the wind was free from the southeast
she was rapidly nearing her quarry.
Without waiting to purchase bait
or even inquire the price of it.,
the fisherman set all sail and
struck out for Eastport. The cruiser kept
up the chase past Head Harbor and we'll
up Quoddy river before she abandoned it.
The Vigilant, which was receiving sup
plies here, sailed for her cruising ground
last night. Captain Mclean says she is
determined to make prisoners of Ameri-
can fishermen who violate treaty obliga-
tions, so that the fishermen have only
themselves to blame if they should be cap
tured. 1t is reported that the General
Middleton, which was taken out of CON-
mission, is again to be pressed into the
service as q fishery cruiser.

-Oat straw when fed in connection
with corn and cotton seed meal to cows
or young stock is a valuable food. It
may also be fed to horses in part in
place of hay where much grain is fed.
When the hay supply is scanty and the
grain is relatively cheaper, straw may
be advantageously used to save the
hay. go Cincinnati Times.

pertinent that one acre of land upon

able the cows to double the yield Of

possible with all farmers the extra yield
should afford profit. Louis Repub-
Licdn. .tt
Some people seem to think if cows
get water once day it is all they need;
but that is not enough unless they are
living on succulent food, such as roots
or ensilsge. Cattle are their own best
judges of their need of water, and they
do best when they have their option
about using it. When they drink but
once day they overload with it, to
their injury. Taking in an over-supply
of cold water chills the stomach and
occasions discomfort and pain, and,
what is worse, stops digestion until the
contents of the stomach, by slow de-
grces, warns up again.-Clevetatad

FLOWERS AT FUNERALS.

The Archbishop of Toronto Condemns
Their Extravagan Use.
TORONTO, ONT, April q. = Archbishop
Lynch has issued pastoral letter to the
clergy Of the archdiocese, warning Cath
olics against extravaganza at funerals in
the shape of magnificent coffins and heaps
Of flowers shaped into ludicrous and un-
seemly designs. 1t says: 1.-THE church
permits crown of flowers--as the sign Of
Heavenly joy-upon the heads Of children
only who have not attained the age of rea-
son. A simple pail is all she allows on the
coffin of the funeral of those who have
reached the age of reason. You are here
by enjoined to see that these rules Of the
church be for the future religiously and
strictly carried out" The letter also
speaks of the enormity Of turning the
great day Of grief and mourning, the an
niversary Of the death of Christ, into day
Of pleasure and amusement.

Rupture Between Railroad Lines.

CHICAGO. April THE failure to agree

from Mississippi river points, on Missouri
river business and points beyond, has ass
lines east from Chicago and those west from
this city. All through billing Of freight be-
tween points in the East and Missouri river
points VIA Chicago has been stopped. The
Eastern roads charge local rates to Chicago
Western points, which, of course, make the
rates via Chicago materially higher than
via st. Louis. Besides, all freight from the
East has to be rebilled at Chicago. which is
an additional embarrassment. The roads

soiLING DAIRY COWS.
The Advlsability OF Changing the Existin
Practice 0fFeedin~ stock.


Old dairymen can ha d.y be expected
to make Mt once complete change in
their practice in the matter of feeding
and pasturing their stock. So long as
there is abundant pasturage and the
weather is fine and the flies are not an
noying, the cows should be at pasture.
1t saves the feed and does the cows
good. When, however, we have a
northeast storm lasting two or three
days, the cows are much better off in
the stable, and if tht,e is field of green
rye, oats and peas, or clover, or later,
corn fodder, to 60 into, which may be
moved even in wet weather, thrown
upon cart, hauled into the stable and
there fed with some hay and with a
moderate ration of bran and corn
meal, the cows will thrive, the milk will
increase and there will be good heap
of manure saved.
All the more when we have dry
weather and the cows begin to fall off
in milk and the flies worry them. Then
they ought by all means to be kept up.
1t is mistake to depend at such times
entirely upon green fodder. No change
of feed should be made suddenly, and
little dry hay with bran and meal
keeps the tone of the system up. pre-
vents scours, and is paid for twice over
in the increased quantity and quality of
the milk.
The few weeks in the stable which
we suggest. will, under good manage
ment, convince almost any farmer that
when he is raising cows for milk his
best policy is to let his pastures be used
by horses, young cattle and dry cattle,
while he keeps his milch cows in the
stable the summer through, and per-
haps throughout the year.
As to choice butter dairies we have
still our doubts. Without question, the
best possible butter is made from sweet
upland or mountain pastures after the
moist weather of early summer has
passed and the grass has become closer
and sweeter under the influence of sun
shine and close cropping. How much
of the delicious flavor can be sacrificed
with profit is question. There are
people who will pay well for the very
best. If they are among the certain
customers of any butter-maker, let him
by all means give his cows and the but
ter the benefit of the sweet grass. If
he wants to pack butter for his own use,
that will remind him of June roses in
January and March; he will have some
of his best butter cows cropping the
hill-side-but if it is simply filthy lucre
that he is after, he must be his own
udge.-American DGirynan.

HADDOCK TRIAL.
Continuance of Testimony in

A Reputable witness Tcstifcs that fthe
Shot Was Fired by Leavitt.

Sioux CRY, IA, April 6.-In the Haddock
case to-day James Junk, Jos. s. Borsch and
others, all saloon-keepers, testified, and
pronounced the regulations Of Leavitt and
Bismarck as very bad. j. G. Hart, a
boarder at Paul Leaders house, testified
that he was one of the crowd that went
from Junk's saloon to the scene Of the
murder. Arcnsdorf, he said, was not the
man who fired the shot, and he was posi-
tive Arensdorf was not in the crowd that
went to the scene Of the murder. Paul
Leader, one Of the indicted parties, testi-
fed that the man who did the shooting
wore a rubber coat and light pants, and he
believed Leavitt was the murderer.
Leader told his story in straightforward
manner, and was not in the least confused
by cross-examination. Mr.. Leaders, busi-
ness standing in the community is better
than that of any witness who has thus far
been upon the stand, and his evidence
created profound impression. The de-
fensc promises more and equally as good
testimony.
